they s7,aud. A woman who does her duty as
q wife and mother earns more than money
ca, nav for. 1t must be very humiliating to
a woman to have TO hunbly and tremblingly
ask her husband for the money she must have
for her actual daily expenses. Amy sensitive,
wor,,anly woman must feel it something of q
dorradation to have to thus ask, or even coax,
for money given grudgingly and complain
inrly at last.
knew Of q woman who said once that the
ONLY way she could get money from her hus-
band for other than her actual household ex-
pensss, was by watching her chance and slyly
extracting bis from bis purse when he was
asleep or his coat was of! Imagine wife
forced to such degrading act as that! Wo-
rnen are often compelled to practice mean,
nicgardly, cruel economy in order to make
their expenses CONS within the limit fixed by
MEMORABLE husbands, who would furiously re-
sent any Interference with their own ezpendi-
lures.
| believe that this simple question OF the
wife's allowance has wrecked the happiness Of
many household. Men are so often blind
and unfeelng and unreasonable in this mat

must have tight rein kept upon them be-
cause or their tendency 10 WNlluI ana WOIul

for happiness in a home having such a mis-
tress over it, But the majority of women can
safely be trusted. Let the husbands of wives
thus worthy trust them, AID this trust viii

Ny own personal experience has been that
money Is safer with women than with nlen
Eost women can beat q man "all to piece"
making a bargain, and the marketmen and
